Reading notes: 1. This is a main-gong story. 2. Neither of the two leads is a particularly good person. 3. The setup is not as simple as ordinary transmigration into a novel. 4. In the early part, the other heroine Nan really does some terrible things, so readers who mind that should stay away. The genius yet melancholic pianist Ji Xichen is accidentally bound to a system and then forced into an old-school obsessive romance novel about coercive love. She becomes the white moonlight character who dies young and is cannon foddered almost as soon as the story begins. When Ji Xichen wakes up, she finds herself soaked to the skin, lying on the ground, and being pinned down in what looks suspiciously like a beautiful woman's attempt to molest her. She gets so startled that she faints again. When she wakes a second time and rubs her forehead, she asks speechlessly whether this is really the so-called cannon-fodder counterattack system. Becoming cannon fodder and then rising to the peak of life is one thing. Helping the heroine escape the male lead's obsessive coercion so the heroine can rise to the peak of life and become a rich beauty is one thing. But why, exactly, does the system expect Ji Xichen to marry that heroine after all of this? System 178 apologetically explains that it failed to transfer departments and is still stuck in the marry-the-rich-beauty department, and since Ji Xichen is the cannon fodder, the logic is simple: go pry the heroine away from the male lead, marry the rich beauty heroine who has reached the peak of life, and that means you have reached the peak of life too. Ji Xichen is left speechless. Later she learns that the stunning woman who was apparently molesting her on that first day is the heroine herself, while the male lead is actually Ji Xichen's bargain-bin older brother. When Nan Xi sees Ji Xichen again, she feels that this national darling has somehow changed, and eventually realizes exactly what is different: Ji Xichen has become much more to her taste.
